Were do I start! This bike is awesome, I have ridden one for about six months now and I love it! It climbs like your favorite x country rider and does it with ease. The big wheels mean you dont fall into all the small holes on the track, this bike is incredibly light so you can throw it around the place when you are going down.
If you want a all round XC bike this bike is it, you wont be disappointed!!

Have got the 2010 model of this bike and absolutely love it! Races up the hills and wicked control for a fairly amateur rider. Can't wait to ride the Motatapu on it! This years one has better specs - way lighter!

Climbs like it has a motor built into the frame, but doesn't weigh like it. Super fast, and my weapon of choice for a long distance single track

Climbs fast, very fast and is nice and light. Fast handling from the race ready geometry and small pump eating abilities of a 29er are a good combination to get you on your way to winning XC races. Go demo one at Wellington store.
